Al-Jufainah Camp Understanding the Gaps and Addressing the Needs of People with Disability
The primary objective of this study was to assess the availability and accessibility of services provided by Prosthetics and Rehabilitation Centers to individuals with disabilities in the camp. The study aimed to understand the types of services received, including physical therapy, prosthetic limbs, medical consultations, orthopedic care, and limb maintenance, and how these services are distributed across different demographic groups. Another objective was to explore the gender in access to these essential services.
The rationale for this study is grounded in the growing recognition of the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, particularly in conflict or displacement settings. Understanding the service gaps and barriers to access for people with disabilities is critical for informing programmatic responses, enhancing service delivery, and ensuring the provision of adequate healthcare services that align with the needs of the affected population. This research also seeks to inform future policies aimed at improving the rehabilitation and support systems for individuals with disabilities.
